HEAT SINKING
The NuPower 15D05A-C01-S01 is offered as a stand-alone module or with an accessory kit
(p/n NW-PA-ACC-KT03), which includes a 28 VDC fan-cooled heatsink and requisite power cable. [The kit
also includes an upgraded module interface cable assembly, labeled and terminated with banana plugs.]
Figure 3: The NuPower PA Kit offers “out-of-the-box” operation for the user. The 28 VDC fan-cooled
heatsink is shown with the NuPower 15D05A-C01-S01 mounted.
Caution: The use of external heat-sinking is required especially for those applications
requiring high duty cycle operation (e.g. continuous wave) or for extended on-time
testing. Operation without a proper heat sink under these conditions will cause
permanent damage to the product and will void the product warranty.
The maximum
operating temperature is 85˚ C
(baseplate).
